You've waited weeks for your rheumatology appointment. Maybe months. And now that the day is almost here, you're trying to figure out how to make the most of those 20 or 30 minutes — to really be heard.

The truth is, what you bring to your rheumatology appointment matters almost as much as what happens in the room. Not just questions on a sticky note, but a real, specific picture of your last two to four weeks: your symptoms, your patterns, your quality of life.

This checklist is designed to help you do exactly that. It won't overwhelm you — but it will help your doctor help you.
